If there's no one I know personally in an area that I want to invest in, should I use sites like LinkedIn and BP to find people and qualify them to see if they're a fit? 

Hi @Aaron Thomas, you're definitely doing the right things by starting here, looking to build a strong network, and looking for people to steer you clear of the costly and disruptive mistakes you can avoid.I'm in your area, so I'm happy to have a phone or coffee chat with you to share some of my network and experience.Connect with me on BP and LinkedIn, and give me a call.

Spruce up your LinkedIn profile and use that as a way to connect with people.

Another quick way is to go to LinkedIn and put in the search terms Kansas City Real Estate Attorney.

I have several questions but my first is, after I leave a message on HR's voice mail and send an email, would you it be unprofessional for me to contact them via LinkedIn?

Is there a Linked In group those type buyers participate in?  

Another great way to get cash buyers is to join LinkedIn.

I will not even add people on linkedin or facebook who say they are lenders, brokers, etc if I dont know them.

@Brent Crosby I’ve reached out to a few college buddies about it already and have started connecting with local professionals in this area of expertise on LinkedIn, that definitely a route I’ll consider if I find a great deal here soon.

I am not sure I am comfortable with his claim on Linked In..."
